WINTER/SPRING LESSON SCHEDULE!

 

(This page is formatted to view on a mobile device)

WINTER/SPRING Lessons begin on January 10th and run through May 18th. 

Lessons will take place at Maloney High School, located at 121 Gravel Street in Meriden. Maloney is a very big campus, so please follow this map and drop-off/pick-up only at the designated locations. 

Students must bring their instrument, their method book and any music they are working on in class. All students should also bring a pencil with them.

Students must be picked up by the same authorized adults that pick your student up from school each day. If you need different people to pick-up your student please let your school office know so they are on record in PowerSchool.

Lessons are one-hour in length. Please arrive to Maloney 10-minutes before your lesson time and go directly to your classroom. Teachers will be in the drop-off area to assist students and direct them to classroom areas. Students will be held in the main hallway at the end of lessons until rides arrive. Please pick-up promptly from the Maloney bus loop. 

The MPS Arts Academy is a District Program offering free music lessons to Meriden Public Schools students in grades 4 through 8.
Lessons are an essential part of an instrumental or vocal music education. Lessons allow for advanced training on specific instruments and provide enhanced instruction beyond what is taught in a band, orchestra or choral setting. We are thrilled to offer this experience to our student at no cost to MPS families. 

Program Specifics

  • Lessons are taught by MPS Music Faculty and Staff, and all lessons are taught by specialists on each instrument in the band, orchestra and choir
  • Lessons are taught in small group settings with all students on the same instrument. 
  • Students must be enrolled in their school band, orchestra or choir program in order to participate in this program.
